Emma Cline has such a distinct voice. Fantastic read—couldn‘t put it down!

I am a big fan of Jess Kidd‘s writing style, but her newest left me wanting in both the story development and conclusion.

This book has a very special place in my heart.

This book is haunting. It‘s beautiful, but so tragic and so gut-wrenching. That said, I loved the unexpected queer love story.

In a word: outstanding. This novel ruminates on what it means to be a woman in a community built for men; on sisterhood; on self discovery; and on grief. I was deeply moved by this story and these characters. I‘ll carry this with me for awhile.

I am blown away. I was skeptical early on, but this novel has gripped me and won‘t let go for a long time. Quiet, beautiful, tragic.

Delightfully weird. I was very pleasantly surprised by this book—mystery, history and magic.

I finished this book in two days and yet ... I hated it? The story was a page turner, but I felt like throwing my hands up at the end. The page turning is the only thing that kept me—certainly not the writing.

Pure magic. Historical fiction, strong female leads and magic are all I could ever want in a story.

The plot: unsatisfying. The writing: undeveloped. While the concept is interesting, the execution does not follow. I had to trudge to the ending.

This book is cleansing; it is grace and simplicity. For book lovers, it is a joy to read.

For a book with such good reviews, Big Little Lies came up very short for me. While Moriarty breathes a little life into these pages with humor, the book is not a page turner by any means. After waiting nearly 400 pages for anything to happen, the ending was unsatisfying. It's fun fluff, but nothing more.

An avid Tana French-reader and vocal fan, I was immensely disappointed with this installment of the Dublin Murder Squad series. I normally enjoy French's elegant language and quick pace, but this novel was far too "purple," and it crawled for 450 pages to an unsatisfying end. The concept was interesting, but the execution poor.

I waited about 250 pages for something, anything, to happen in this book. For a novel that calls itself a "novel of suspense," It never caused me to grip it's pages in anticipation. The mystery itself isn't tied up well in the end (nor introduced well in the beginning). The conclusion felt expected and cliche. I appreciate the author's attempts at graceful language and characterization, but, ultimately, this fell short for me.

Everyone, listen to the Harry Potter books on audio. They are the best audio books I've ever read. Don't miss out!

In my opinion, In the Woods has a bit of a disappointing ending, but I appreciate her caliber of writing and style.
